The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You were my home planet

You were my stars, my holy place

Hmm, but you took me for granted

Right from the start now

Didn't you, babe?

And I–

Wish you the best of luck in finding

Someone else who’s strong enough

And I–

This is the only time

I can't be keeping you from fucking up

So go ahead and do your worst

But don't you go and cry when it hurts

Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags

But, once you’re gone, you can't come back

Can you afford to lose me?

And if you've still got that fire

Then prove it to me

I was your life support machine

Didn't you realize it was always me?

I was always there to pick up the pieces

When you were a full-blown catastrophe

Yeah

And I–

Gave you the closest thing you ever had to love

So sober up

And this time (time)

This is the final time I'll draw the line

I've suffered long enough

So go ahead and do your worst

But don't you go and cry when it hurts

Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags

Cause, once you're gone, you can’t come back

Can you afford to lose me?

And if you’ve still got that fire

Then prove it to me, hm

Can you sleep without me?

Can you breathe without me?

Don't you need somebody?

Can you? (Need somebody)

Hmm, I wanna know– can you?

Can you sleep without me?

Can you breathe without me? (ooh-ooh)

Don’t you need somebody? (Can you afford to?)

Can you?

Go ahead and do your worst

But don't you go and cry when it hurts

Can you afford to lose me?

Go ahead and pack your bags

Once you're gone, you can't come back

Can you afford to lose me?
